Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A method of treating a human patient afflicted with dementia comprising administering a composition comprising a therapeutic unit of Colostrinin in isolated form to the human patient about one or two times per day for a predetermined period of time. 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1  wherein the Colostrinin is non-ovine Colostrinin. 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic unit of Colostrinin is in the range of about 25 to 1000 micrograms. 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 1  wherein the therapeutic unit of Colostrinin in isolated form is administered to the patient about one or two times each day for a first period of time, followed by a second period of time when no Colostrinin is administered. 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 4  wherein the first period of time is in the range of about 2 to 4 weeks, and the second period of time is in the range of about 2 to 5 weeks. 
     
     
       6. The method according to  claim 4  wherein a cycle of administering Colostrinin in isolated form for a first period of time followed by a second period of time when Colostrinin is administered is repeated at least once. 
     
     
       7. A method of treating a human patient afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease comprising administering a composition comprising a therapeutic unit of Colostrinin in isolated form to the human patient about one or two times per day for a predetermined period of time. 
     
     
       8. The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the Colostrinin is non-ovine Colostrinin. 
     
     
       9. The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the therapeutic unit of Colostrinin is in the range of about 25 to 1000 micrograms. 
     
     
       10. The method according to  claim 7  wherein the therapeutic unit of Colostrinin in isolated form is administered to the patient about one or two times each day for a first period of time, followed by a second period of time when no Colostrinin is administered. 
     
     
       11. The method according to  claim 10  wherein the first period of time is in the range of about 2 to 4 weeks, and the second period of time is in the range of about 2 to 5 weeks. 
     
     
       12. The method according to  claim 10  wherein a cycle of administering Colostrinin in isolated form for a first period of time followed by a second period of time when Colostrinin is administered is repeated at least once. 
     
     
       13. A method of treating a human patient afflicted with dementia comprising administering up to two therapeutic units of Colostrinin in isolated form to the human patient per day, wherein each therapeutic unit of Colostrinin is in the range of about 25 to 1000 micrograms. 
     
     
       14. The method according to  claim 13  wherein the up to two therapeutic units of Colostrinin in isolated form are administered to the patient every day or every other day for a first period of time followed by a second period of time when no therapeutic units of Colostrinin are administered to the human patient. 
     
     
       15. The method according to  claim 14  wherein the first period of time is in the range of about 2 to 4 weeks, and the second period of time is in the range of about 2 to 5 weeks. 
     
     
       16. The method according to  claim 15  wherein a cycle of administering Colostrinin in isolated form for the first period of time followed by the second period of time when Colostrinin is administered is repeated at least once. 
     
     
       17. The method according to  claim 13  wherein the Colostrinin is formulated for oral administration. 
     
     
       18. A method of treating a human patient afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease comprising administering up to two therapeutic units of Colostrinin in isolated form to the human patient per day, wherein each therapeutic unit of Colostrinin is in the range of about 25 to 1000 micrograms. 
     
     
       19. The method according to  claim 18  wherein the up to two therapeutic units of Colostrinin in isolated form are administered to the patient every day or every other day for a first period of time followed by a second period of time when no therapeutic units of Colostrinin are administered to the human patient. 
     
     
       20. The method according to  claim 19  wherein the first period of time is in the range of about 2 to 4 weeks, and the second period of time is in the range of about 2 to 5 weeks. 
     
     
       21. The method according to  claim 20  wherein a cycle of administering Colostrinin in isolated form for the first period of time followed by the second period of time when Colostrinin is administered is repeated at least once. 
     
     
       22. The method according to  claim 18  wherein the Colostrinin is formulated for oral administration.
